I understand Sean's point about debugging. Right now the glanceclient is just
printing ***. So it isn't printing a lot of excess and isn't leaking anything
sensitive. The other usability concern with the *** that Sean previously
mentioned was having a short usable string might be useful for debugging.
Morgan and Jamie, You think switching to SHA1 in actually adds a potential
security vulnerability to glanceclient that doesn't exist now. If that is true,
I think it would override the additional debugging concern of using SHA1 for
now. Can you please confirm?
If only for consistency sake, I could switch to "TOKEN_REDACTED" like the code
sample Morgan sent. [1]
